Ever have one of those weeks and/or weekends when, by the time you get to Monday, you can barely remember everything that happened? That’s more or less every week in the world of combat sports, where the realm of the bizarrely newsworthy is pretty much where we live. Which is why MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes brings you “The Break” to make sense of what just happened, presented in the time it takes to grab a refill of coffee before the boss notices you’re missing. This week, Fowlkes takes a look back at Bellator’s two events in Honolulu, which featured plenty of folks like Scott Coker in Hawaiian shirts and leis; Al Iaquinta ’s upset of Kevin Lee at UFC on FOX 31 and his subsequent pitch to fight Conor McGregor ; the UFC’s continuing saga in the welterweight division; and the insanity that was Dan Hooker lasting as long as he did at UFC on FOX 31 against Edson Barboza.
